The day you learn your new home was once a ‘sex club’ is a bad day

When you buy a house, you don’t really know what problems you might find inside. Maybe the roof leaks, maybe the basement is infested with mice, maybe the A/C unit is about to go. But there are worse things, yes, even worse than figuring out septic trucks like your house. You could find out your dream home was once a sex club.

Brian and Lauren Gehm had just moved into their home in New Jersey and had a technician installing their satellite TV. But there was a problem with the electrical wiring in the house. They traced the wiring and found their home had web cams hidden in the basement, all hooked up to a closed-circuit television system. Turns out, the previous owners had used the house as “a disco and/or ‘sex club.'”

They are now suing the realtors who sold them the home for failing to disclose that minor detail. Perhaps to pay the legal fees they should reopen the club.
